Sonics: Oklahoma considering six NBA team names

Assuming you still want to hear about the baskeball team formerly known as the Seattle SuperSonics, the Oklahoman today reported that the NBA has filed trademarks for six team nicknames in Oklahoma City – Barons, Bison, Energy, Marshalls, Thunder and Wind.

Sources there believe the strongest candidate is still “Thunder.” The NBA is admitting nothing.

“When we have a name the Oklahoma City team will announce it,” NBA spokesman Tim Frank told the paper. “The process is ongoing. We’re not going to get into specifics until it’s time to reveal the name.”

I know it’s painful to ask, but what the heck – which of the six do you prefer?
